    According to another post, after they kidnapped him, they confirmed he was a US citizen and dumped him in a Walmart parking lot.

    How is the entire state of Minnesota not on a general strike by now? There’s a paramilitary group marauding their streets and kidnapping and killing people.

      A general strike isn’t something you can just do. There is so much behind the scenes support that’s necessary. It’s by design a tough proposition to ask a large chunk of people to put their healthcare, housing, food, etc all at risk with no support. You need mutual aid things like strike funds set up to even have a hope of getting one off the ground.

      It’s like this, how willing do you think the average person would be to confront a random guy who seems to be about to attack someone? How much does that willingness change if you can see that guy is carrying a gun? How much does it change if instead of you being alone when you saw this guy you were chatting with 3 of your neighbors and you all decided to confront him together?

        The state leadership could organize and fund the strike but maybe that’d be seen as treason and grounds to send in the army. Though really at this point I want to see a governor try it. Especially Walz who gave up on politics and has nothing to lose now.

      What does a general strike in Minnesota accomplish? That’s like you quitting your job because the FBI shot your dog. You think the FBI cares if you quit your job? They flew back home a week ago.

      For all the downvoters. A foreign power is occupying your cities. What does hurting your own state achieve? The foreign power wants you weaker.

      Another analogy that is closer: Russia invades Ukraine and kills their citizens. In response, a Ukrainian calls for a general strike in Kyiv.

      You need to hurt the people that are causing the problem. Minnesota is fighting Trump. Minnesota isn’t the problem.

      A nationwide strike would help.

      They have been indoctrinated into believing that the only solution is voting harder for the other party which also funds ICE and does not abolish it, but does it slightly less.

        There is an enormous difference between masked goons attacking people outside of elementary schools and immigration enforcement.

          If the Democrats get in, they will reduce it by 5%, maybe even 10%.

          I’m not saying I wouldn’t vote for a Democrat. I’m just saying it won’t save us.

            That’s a bullshit “both sides” lie.

            Show me a news article about an ICE protester getting murdered during Biden.

              Show me where I said an ICE protestor got murdered during Biden.

              In fact, l didn’t say anything about Biden. I was talking about whatever Democrats might get in power after MAGA, assuming we still have elections. All they will do is set up the next Trump to take over. It’s all they’ve been doing since Clinton.

                Lemmy.world is where nuance goes to die. Don’t bother arguing with them.

                And get yourself an account on another server in case you get banned for having a brain.

                  Why are you even here if you are doing nothing to try to fix the problems and just want to bitch and moan about how bad things are? Literally nobody has ever claimed Democrats are amazing but if you think they’re the same as this, you’re too fucking stupid to be voting or even discussing politics.

            “save us” and being far better aren’t the same thing. I didn’t say they would save us either. Just didn’t think “slightly” was appropriate there.

    I feel SO much safer knowing that they FINALLY caught the cart guy at Target. Mission Accomplished guys, you got him!

    My god, our tax dollars are paying for this. I can barely imagine the chain of viciously stupid people that are part of the process that results in this.

        Oooh, this is awkward. I don’t really “want” a job restocking shelves at Target.

        (Why does this keep happening - I also didn’t want the job of working as a farm laborer…)

          Ya, I actually was waiting for the position of richest person in US. I figured that since he is a foreigner and broke laws to get his citizenship, ICE should be hot on his trail at this very moment.

      I am all for Hanlon’s Razor usually, but in this case I’m not sure we can settle for “stupid”. I think “evil” is sadly more apt.

    The boy is being arrested like a highly dangerous criminal. Amazing how instead of spending the same amount of effort to catch real criminals they are catching whoever they see as an illegal immigrant.

    Racist segregationists are waging war against America. It’s time to crush this ideology and restore sanity before this whole thing goes up in flames. These people need to be identified, tried, and convicted. No peace with racism.
